Had a terrific tour with... - Had a terrific tour with Kathy - I can’t say enough great things. Not only did she have incredible knowledge of the history and interesting stories, but she also tailored the experience to what we wanted to see and do. Very engaging and natural to converse with. I’ve been on 10 tours in the last 10 days…Kathy was easily at the top. Jenny was also very responsive on organizing the trip and Mr Li drove us around quickly and safely. All around a +5 star experience!

Great tour. Excellent guide (Melody). Relaxing and fun. - Melody was an awesome guide. She was very informative, easy-going, and fun. She allowed us to have as much time as we needed to take pictures and to wander around exploring. She made learning the history about the Great Wall and the Summer Palace interesting. We had so much fun. We were a family with school aged kids, as well as elderly parents, and everyone enjoyed the time. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Nice destinations and great driver - Our driver (Bruce) was on time and always available. We kept in contact with him using Wechat. He was not a tour guide, but he did speak some English and answered our questions while driving. The car was clean and comfortable. The Summer Palace was nice and I really like the Great Wall visit.
